Character Name: Eugene Goha.k.a. e-Goh Race: Nerd...what they lack in physical strength they make up in brain power. Who writes all the best selling books? Nerds. Who directs the top grossing Hollywood movies? Nerds. Who creates the highly advanced technology that only they can understand? ...Nerds. And who are the people who run for the high office of the Presidency? No one but nerds. Class: ProgrammerHas developed accounting apps, invoicing apps, inventory management and client management software, shipping manifest management software, banking backends and fund management frontends. / Game DeveloperHas made iPhone games, PC casual games, Web-based games, J2ME mobile phone games, Symbian mobile phone games, Advergames, Quiz games, Custom Hardware games and the Big Red Button game on Facebook. Alignment: Chaotic NeutralA chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. Level: 10 / 6Whilst he spent 90% of his life exposed to computers, he served 10 years as a programming professional, of which 6 years were in the game industry.
Abilities
Strength 5Not suited for manual labour. He managed to fail the Singapore Army fitness test for 10 consecutive years before they retired him from his liability.
Dexterity 8May be prone to drop things and trip over his own feet. However, when equipped with a QWERTY keyboard, receives a 2x bonus to Dexterity.
Constitution 15A hardy individual, he almost never falls ill. His mother claims credit for inundating him with vitamins through his formative years.
Intelligence 18Leveraging both his Nerd and Asian racials, he possesses superior mathematical ability and problem analysis skills. If there is a problem, he can solve it. If there is no problem, he can solve that too!
Wisdom 16Having worked with many different companies and individuals, he has a unique appreciation on what works and what does not and can offer sage advice. While he has full grasp of several different methods of production, the holy grail of how to sell the end product is still yet to be obtained.
Charisma 13While he can and has led teams in the past, this is neither his desire nor his forte. He is far more useful in a consultative, instructional or problem-solving role.
